I stopped playing Wordle a while back in favour of just committing to the NYT crossword every single day because it has much more substance, but some times it’s a bit of a chore when the wordplay is too cryptic, or the trivia is too US-based.
Knotwords seems to be a happy medium in that you don’t need to have a great vocabulary or extensive general knowledge like a crossword, you just need to spot words that can fit in the spaces. And like Wordle, it’s ok if you don’t know if something is a word or not, it’ll tell you with no penalty.
And it also jumps on that “tweet your results” bandwagon.

Bought the Steam version of that, its brilliant and really well designed.
I assume the Steam version just comes with the lifetime premium (full access to the archive and the monthly puzzle books), because the price they’re charging is the same it costs to upgrade the free mobile version.
The Twist is really good and all. Like a sprinkling on picross in there with the numbers signifying how many vowels in a row/column.
I've no idea what my fourth guess was or even that it's actually a word. After 3 I really had no idea what to do with the D with the letters I had remaining and spent ages plugging stuff in that wasn't a word. Got there in the end though.

This is a joke right?
Not at all, canny is a word common in my local dialect. I didn’t expect to see it in an online game particularly one associated with an American newspaper.
Turns out that today is one of those days with two solutions as they've swapped out the one I got (damn US spelling) for something else given the recent leaks from the US. Did seem a little contentious.
